  Despite what I read in the first review, we gave this place a try as we really fancied some good old British fish and chips. And it was a good decision. We ordered about 4 meals - the service was friendly and professional. Fish was tender and succulent, chips were perfectly cooked (some places under or over-cook) and the mushy peas were great. We were all happy with our food. Would go again, well done!

  If there's one thing I hate, and that is giving bad reviews, because someone has taken their time and money to invest in a business venture that will hopefully be a successful means of support for them. However, there is trying your best to please, and not bothering to try at all, and going by the taste of the chips in this place, I'd definitely have to conclude that the later is their option. I have never in my life tasted chips like these. It wasn't burnt oil tasting, perhaps a combination of wrong potatoes and old oil, but they were disgusting. The fish wasn't too bad, but when we walked in to begin with, they informed us that they'd have to cook fresh fish. That's fine we said, wondering what was wrong with the ones in the display cabinet. After waiting a while, (cooking a cheese burger at the side of the shop), they returned and served us the fish from the cabinet. I was puzzled now, why couldn't they have done that to begin with I thought? All in all, not a good experience, the food certainly isn't cheap, and I wouldn't recommend that place to friends or family, other than stay away.

  After reading the previous two reviews, I simply had to pay this place a visit. And, my experience was... (drum roll, please)... absolutely fine. Nothing special, but nor particularly bad - just perfectly good enough as chippies go.
